摘要

Synaptic dysfunction is a candidate mechanism in psychotic disorders, yet the precise underlying substrates remain elusive. We investigated how combining in vivo electroencephalography (EEG) and in vitro human cortical spheroid (hCS)-based methods can further our understanding of psychosis pathophysiology during fetal stages of neurodevelopment. Ten individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) or bipolar disorder (BD; 5 males and 5 females) and five controls (CTRL; 3 males and 2 females) underwent EEG assessments, including long-term potentiation (LTP)-like cortical plasticity and mismatch negativity (MMN). hCS were generated from induced pluripotent stem cells of all participants, and immunohistochemistry, Seahorse bioenergetics and patch-clamp recordings were performed. EEG-based LTP-like plasticity was reduced in individuals with SZ and BD. Basal respiration was decreased in BD hCS and VGLUT1 levels were reduced in both SZ and BD hCS. There was a positive association between EEG-based LTP-like plasticity and hCS basal respiration which survived correction. Our data provide further support for roles of mitochondrial and glutamatergic impairments in the synaptic dysfunction of psychosis and demonstrate the potential of combining EEG- and hCS-based methods for early development mechanistic studies of brain disorders.
